My stash (Picture heavy!)

Hello, by popular demand, I spent some time yesterday photographing my stash. Now this is only about half of it, the other half is at home so I'll have to photograph them when I get home in Easter!
As I don't have that many here with me I figured I would divide them into brands and do them like that. 

All names will go L-R and bold names are ones which I have swatched, they won't be linked but you can simply search the name in my blog to find it.

First up is my precious Dior rainbow :D

Phew! Like I said this is only about half my collection, I could only bring as many could fit into my box so that's why the rest are being neglected at home :P. If you like to see a swatch of any of the colours please let me know!

And this is how I store them and my nail art stuff, not the usual way lol

I feel kind of bad for just shoving them all in there but I ain't got time to arrange them by brand and colour! Hahah. Ain't nobody got time for that ;)

So there you go my half stash! My uni stash haha, I have a hankering for Taylor by Shimmer as I saw A Polish Addict's swatch and just fell in love!

Like I said if you wish to see a colour swatched then comment :)

Birthday mani - Illamasqua Monogamous and The Hungry Asian Vote for Purple

Hi, today I have my first Illamasqua to show you, weeheee it's Monogamous a gorgeous rubbery finished fleshy nude...on everyone else, on me it pulls quite yellowy but not as yellow as the photos show though. It had a good formula and a decent brush and despite the finish it was no trouble to apply.

This is two coats, it was almost a one coater but there were some bald patches. This is the only photo I can use as my canyons are back :( and all the others are weird colours haha. To make it special for my birthday I added Vote for Purple by The Hungry Asian which is a gorgeous mix of purple and silver different sized and shaped glitter. It's special for me as I don't often wear glitter but I love purple and this is pretty and delicate but still sparkly :). I used one thin coat as I wanted it kind of sparse (which is hard with such a jam packed glitter)

I had to include the macaroon picture as they are my favourite treat but they are super hard to find in the UK outside of London but now a new bakery has opened up in Nottingham which makes them!! Wooo, they aren't as good as the ones from Paris but they'll do, the chocolate ones are to die for though! I only wanted to try macaroons because Blair from Gossip Girl used to order Pistachio flavour ones direct from Paris ;).

I know I'm getting at least two polishes for my birthday so I'll post them tomorrow or the next day :) have a good day/night!

The hungry Asian - Sea creature Swatches

Sorry I've not posted since friday, I've been real busy only took the Paul & Joe off this morning! I've been busy smashing my iphone :( and my laptop battery is deteriorating so I need to buy a new one which is another £100+ on broken technology....it's really not my month! 


Anyway onto the polish. I wore this when my camera was broken and I didn't want to post the pictures as they didn't do the polish justice but as I will be away for a couple of days again I figured I need to post something to keep you going ;) so imagine that the pictures are better ;)

Sorry about the quality, like I said this is off the loaner I was using. 
It's annoying because it's such a gorgeous and glowy polish but it doesn't look that good in my pictures :( 

I layered two coats over Barry M Racing Green as the base colours matched perfectly! Sea Creature is made up of lots of different sized glitter that is mainly blues and greens and small black glitter. 
For a different look that can be achieved by layering Sea Creature over a different base colour you should head over to Chelsea at the Nail Network as her swatches are amazing! 


You can tell this is an old picture as my nails are shorter and square! Haha 


Sorry for the rubbish quality but I hope you enjoyed anyway. 

I've been haulin' haulin' haulin'

Hey, here is the promised haul post, it's not much but they are all goodies apart from the Nails Inc but we'll cross that bridge when we get there ;)


First Dior haulin' 

Dior vernis Saint Tropez and Riviera, Dior Addict Extreme Lipstick in Lucky 

Here is my new favourite lipstick with the matching nail polish, yes they do match!

Look how pretty they are, lucky and lucky :D

I can't wait to wear the two Luckys together and neither can I wait for sun to wear Saint Tropez and Riviera!

Then my first indiesssss! The Hungry Asian! Woo Kae is so sweet, I love the little note she included with my package. I love that she ships internationally I got my order a week after placing it and that's including the bank holiday!! And those little heart shaped bottles kill me :)

Eeee Sneeze Breeze, Sea Creature and Vote for Purple, I cannot wait to wear these!

And finally my Nails Inc Lucky Dip, I feel like I've been conned lol I know it is just me being silly butI thought that a lucky dip would actually be a lucky dip not get-rid-of-all-the-old-polishes-that-noone-wants.......I was expecting summery colours, neons maybe a nude but nope I got dark colours, I know they'll be good for winter but it is summer now and I'm impatient. Ha

Gold glitter crackle in Farringdon, Buckingham Street, Park Crescent, Chelsea, Hampton Court and Chester Terrace

I'm willing to give all of these the benefit of the doubt bar the crack and Chelsea as I hate crack and I already have one dark brown; I really don't need another! But hey for only £15 I can't really complain. 

So there you go what do you think of my hauling?
